    Just checking in with another “hey this story is vaguely related to my own life, but I’m the only one who really cares” posts. My sister currently resides in Hi-Nella NJ. I am fairly certain the town consists of her apartment complex, and the adjacent water tower. that is all

  3. By Joe UNITED STATES on January 19, 2009 @ 8:34 pm

    Another thought as I looked through the rest of the lists. Is Goochland VA located directly between Butts and Nuttsville? See where I’m going with this…yeah you do. If only it were called Taintland…thats a a little more mainstream than gooch, but beggers can’t be choosers.

    ok, last one for today, because noone wants to see just my name on the “recent comments” section of your homepage, but when driving down the highway in VA, can you imagine coming across the following sign:

    Needmore
    Lipps
    Onancock
    Exit 2 miles

    Busiest intersection in the whole state I’d imagine.

  5. By Jeff UNITED STATES on January 20, 2009 @ 2:04 pm

    Nice! Thanks for the comments Joe.

  6. By Eliza UNITED STATES on April 6, 2009 @ 12:33 pm

    How about Haddock, PA

  7. By Sherry UNITED STATES on July 5, 2010 @ 9:53 pm

    Village of Four, MO is not a city. It is listed on Missouri state map as Village of Four Seasons. It is a large resort near Osage Beach, MO. (Lake of the Ozarks.)
